The 25th Cavalry (Frontier Force) was raised by Captain Robert
Fitzgerald as the 5th Punjab Irregular Cavalry at Multan in 1849, with
Risaldar Gurmukh Singh Dhillon of village Bahmaniwala, Sub Division
Patti of Amritsar district of Punjab, as the first native Commandant of
5th Punjab Irregular Cavalry. The troops of the Sikh Squadron were
mostly taken from the disbanded Khalsa Army which was recently defeated
by the British in the Anglo-Sikh War of 1848. During the Indian Mutiny
they were part of the besieging army at Delhi and took part in the
Relief of Lucknow. The troops of 5th Punjab Irregular Cavalry were now
avenging themselves on the mutinuous Bengal Army for the defeat of the
Khalsa's Sikh Army in the Anglo Sikh Wars. One squadron fought at
Bareilly, where two of its Indian officers won the Order of British
India and nine other ranks received the Indian Order of Merit. The
regiment was involved in a number of small actions on the North West
Frontier with the Punjab Frontier Force. In March 1860, 150 men under an
Indian officer attacked a 3,000 strong armed force of Mahsuds and
Waziris at Tank, killing 300 and dispersing the others. In January 1867,
an Indian officer with 27 sowars charged a body of 1,000 tribesmen,
killed 150 and captured most of the rest. During the Second Afghan War,
the 5th Punjab Cavalry were present at the capture of Charasiah and
Frederick Roberts the Commanding General ordered that they and the 9th
Lancers should have the honour of escorting him into Kabul. During the
attack on the Asmai Heights in December 1879, near Kabul, Captain
William John Vousden made repeated charges with a small body of men of
the 5th Punjab Cavalry, passing through the ranks of an overwhelming
force again and again until the enemy fled. Vousden received a Victoria
Cross and his ten surviving men the Indian Order of Merit. For the
excellent record in the British reprisal of Indian Mutiny and for valour
during the Second Afghan War 5th Punjab Cavalry was among the units that
were honoured during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen
Victoria's Reign at London in June and July 1897. Risaldar Major Kesar
Singh Dhillon of Bahmaniwala Dhillons (son of Risaldar Gurmukh Singh
Dhillon) represented the 5th Punjab Cavalry as part of Indian Native
Cavalry. The same finds a mention in the London Gazette published on 14
March 1898.For the acts of valour during the Indian Mutiny and during
the Second Afghan War, the troops of 5th Punjab Cavalry were awarded
grants of agricultural land in Lyallpur District in 1904. Most of the
Sikh troops of Kanhayia Misl shifted from Amritsar District to Lyallpur
on being granted lands there. During the First World War, it served in
German East Africa, followed by service in the Third Afghan War of 1919.
